I've got burmas going right now, though I really hope to get 2 or 3 others started next month. And I wish I could show you pics, but I broke my phone on my way to by a new piece (which, is a fucking epic piece). As soon as I get a camera, you'll have some pics!
I can't fruit yet cause I thought I still had 3 or 4 more days of waiting, but I did the math in my head with a week = 10 days... I smoke way to much for my own good. :P But tomorrow after work I'm gonna get a massive tub and set up an SGFC; I hope target is open late though, cause I've got a double shift.
Also, 4 jars!!!!!

Haha...I think we all smoke too much reefer for our own good. Glad the new piece was worth it. So youre waiting a week for mycelium to completely consolidate? Make sure to get enough perlite for the bottom of thr tub...about two bags of it gives a good 4 to 5 inch layer. I read on here people using a piece of chicken wire on top of the perlite to place the cakes on vs pieces of tinfoil...I havent tried it yet but im definitely doing it next time!!

Dood I want to get you some pics sooo bad, but I don't have a camera to use. Even my laptops camera doesn't tell me where the pictures are located, so I can't find them.. Anywho the good news is that all 5 jars have a fruiting body(s) and are looking pretty healthy! Researching the dunk-and-roll right now cause I don't have my chamber ready yet, but I can for sure make it tomorrow morning/night, depending on work and such. Ah I'm like a school girl every time I look at them, this is such an exciting and drawn out process!

Yep, patience is so key homie! My second flush finally started fruiting and took off, drying them now and still got enough cake for round three! Woop woop, reaping the benefits of my hard work as I type. Hopefully you got your chamber made by now!

Did you dunk after your first flush? Apparently that can improve your yield a lot.
My chamber wont be ready until monday actually, I got everything I need to make it except for the drill bit, turns out the hardware store closes early on saturdays.
And I think I found mold on one of my cakes, should I just fruit invitro until I have enough money to make a chamber for it?

Keep the one with mold away from the others, if it's 100% colonized the mycelium might win. It happened to me on all my jars and it turned out fine. I would birth asap though.
Yes I dunked after my first flush, for 12 hours. I made the mistake of re-rerolling in vermiculite--which youre not supposed to do apparently..., so after you dunk DO NOT roll in vermiculite.
Good news is my second flush went fine, just took 10 days to start pinning again

Its funny how this thread started out as a possible infected cake to full on healthy mushroom porn. I love this place!
Good job on your grow man, I get those yellowy liquid sometimes too. It just means its time to fruit, and maybe the incubation was a little too warm maybe?
Need some verification on that.

Edit: I posted in response to someone with 2,000 post, trying to tell them something about metabolites. I'm dumb. lol
And I'm actually about to birth them right now Lowery. My boss called me off for the morning half of my double, so I've got some time I wasn't expecting to have. 
On another note, after my boss called I fell back to sleep and dreamed that I went in to work a few hours before I was supposed to (4pm) and got fired for it. That was strange, especially considering I rarely remember dreams; In fact, I probably haven't remembered a dream in 4 - 5 months.
Annnyywwwhhhooo..... Wish me luck! If I can figure out how to transfer photos off my "new" phone then I can even get you some pictures today! 
Edit: Also, I don't think re-rolling really "hurts" you, I just don't think it helps. I might be wrong and contam rates may increase, but as far as I'm aware there just isn't much of a benefit.

For the record, your rant about the metabolites made complete sense to me. I think it's all relative in a way...shit happens! There's some super crazy stories on here, anything can happen it looks like and hell, mushrooms are just fungus and fungus WANTS to grow. I just hate it when I see it in my sour cream. Glad your grow's going well, keep trying, practice makes perfect.
Update on mine: 3rd time around--I dunked for 22 hours this time in room temp fresh spring water, and put them back in the fruiting chamber. This was last night so I expect maybe another week before I'll see signs of pins again. We will see. I am too stoked on my first two flushes that I dgaf at this point lol; they were potent as all hell and got just under 3 oz dry from the 12 cakes total--second flush didn't yield nearly half as much as the first.

3oz? That's amazing! When I started this grow I had no clue what to expect, right now based on what you're saying and the way my cakes are acting, hopefully around 1.5-2oz. There are so many of these little guys, and a few of them really aren't little, seriously thick stems and the heads are looking to be huge; That is of course that I'm correctly judging them by the pic's I've seen here on the shroomery.
Right now I've got 4 cakes in the big SGFC, I've got 1 cake dunking, and a miniature SGFC ready to go for him. I'm scared a spot on there might be mold, it's got a bunch of little black specks; The thing is though, I looked at one of my cakes the other day and it had black specks all over, and right away I freaked out and picked it up to see what was wrong. As it turned out, the black specs were just pieces of verm that had broken up a little bit and wasn't very shiny. I'm wondering if that might be what I was seeing in the jar, because when I birthed it I was having a hard time seeing the spot I was worried about, the black specks were mostly gone.
Anyway, yeah things are going great and I'll let you know when I get my first taste!

Ohhh yearh. Dude I am so new to Shroomery, is it cool that we keep talking to eachother on this thread or would this need to move to PMing? Thoughts?
Yeah I think I got lucky this time. My first grow was in Eugene, OR and it didn't do so hot, I made beginners mistakes across the board but only yielded less than an oz dry. Got all kinds of contams too. Sucked, so the second grow (the one I'm in now) is a million times better.
Fro your pics, they're def looking good. Just try to not open the chamber too often or go into the room too often. ITS SO HARD---THEYRE SOOOO CUTE and you just wanna sit there and stare for hours but dont do it. It's just not worth the contam.
Yeah, youre fruiting, you're in the clear now. Those gooms will take off in no time, 3-4 days and you're gonna be drooling. Eat em fresh if you can! How are you planning on drying??

You're asking me what I think? I'm 6 months newer than you are, I've only been a member for 30 days! Speaking of which.... MARKET PLACE! Anywho, I think we're alright being that we're still mostly on topic, everything we're talking about is relevant imo.
I think I'm getting very lucky, the only jar that I had for sure contam was a badly cracked and burnt jar, and the 2 jars I have that have 0 growth, still have no signs of contamination; I cannot find the slightest hint of anything that could even possibly be a contam. My sterile procedure wasn't even very good, and later on we found out we have mice, rotting floors, and rotting ceilings! Also on that note, my agar trays have 0 contams thus far and are growing fresh myc on all 4 of my clone trays (though no luck with MS yet).
It's a little hard to avoid going into the room and looking at them, they're actually in my bedroom, because the common area here is the only other option, and once in a while the landlord pops in; I'm not terribly certain he'd approve. As far as not touching them goes, I'm guilty of picking them up a few times, though I am officially done with that (as much as I want to view them so badly). Mycelium is apparently pretty resistant once its fully colonized, but we all know the old phrase "better safe than sorry" holds plenty of merit.
I'm pretty excited though, I got a couple of mutants (I think)! A couple of shrooms look like they have the stem partially extending from the head, pretty common, but still awesome! They're pretty small at this point so I may be wrong, but we'll see. I've also got one that has a very pale yellow cap, rather than the deep red cap; I'm a little concerned about that, and wondering if I should pluck it off to A) potentially save the huge shroom it's next to, and B) toss it on agar to see if it contams like crazy or produces clean mycelium. Depending on the outcome it could reveal something to watch for in the future, or I could find out I may have picked an abort or mutant.

Lowery I just got back from my first (good) trip. Harvested my mushrooms after work and dosed with an old friend, we walked around down town and just talked for hours. We also checked out a very cool pipe shop that is a couple blocks away. All in all it turned out to be a wonderful experience! Really hoping my cakes put out more though, I only harvested the mushrooms with broken veils, and wound up with around 45g wet. However, I tripped, my friend was slightly past threshold, and my neighbor is currently having a pretty good trip, and I have more than half of my harvest left, so I think these are probably pretty potent.
Anyway just thought I'd tell you I had a fun time before I crash out; Speak at you later!
